PREFACE.
The object of compiling this book is to furnish the rules
that are to be administered in the conduct of speed engage-
ments upon the courses of Agricultural Fairs, both trot-
ting and pacing, and running also, all in a handy volume,
so that the law concerning any point can be readily re-
ferred to by those who desire to know it.
The track rules are now found in the Rules and Regula-
tions of the National Trotting Association, and in the
American Racing Rules, the former governing trottting
and pacing engagements, and the latter those of running.
In preparing these trotting rules, the rules of the National
Association have been taken and re-arranged, so that the
topics will appear in a natural sequence, such as the
events to which they apply naturally occur in the course
of a meeting or race. To follow out this arrangement,
it has been necessary to combine, as far as possible, all of
the information relating to each topic, in the same rule,
and as the provisions are somewhat cisjointed, and the
same rule often provides for several different things, as
well as in some instances the same thing is provided for
in different rules of the National Association, it has been
necessary to not only re-arrange those rules, but to dissect
some of them and carry each part to the rule to which it
properly belongs.
A comparison of these rules with those of the National
Association, as can be easily done by use of the reference

PREFACE,
numbers in parenthesis in or after each paragraph herein,
will reveal the necessity and manner of making the changes
we have indicated.
In making the compilation, our aim has been to use
the language of the National rules, with no changes, ex-
cept by such connectives as were necessary to join the
parts of rules combined in one, in order that no new or
doubtful expressions should be introduced.
The rules, so far as the provisions which are applicable
to engagements upon the turf, are complete and unabridged,
The only provisions that they do not contain are those
portions of the by-laws of that association that relate to
its organization, election of its officers, and acquirement of
membership.
As the rules of the recently formed American Trotting
Association, are identical with those of the National As-
sociation, in everything except as to the government of
the association, these rules apply to it as well as to all
racing. They are, in fact, the trotting and pacing rules
of the land, such as the experience of years of racing con-
tests have demonstrated as being most wise and practicable,
and such as have been formulated by the intelligent minds
that are patrons of the sport, and earnest for its integrity.
In the running rules, no rule has been abridged, and
each provision given will be found complete. But there
are sO many circumstances arising in running races
that are the same as those that arise in trotting and
pacing contests, and being provided for in the rules of the
latter, it has not been thought best to repeat them in the
running rules, and for that reason they have been left
out, so that in case the rule applicable to any case aris-
ing in a running race is not found in those rules, but the
circumstances are provided for in the trotting rules, it can
be considered as the law of the case.
> 3 PREFACE.
There are also several provisions as to running races,
as they are conducted upon the great race tracks, a knowl-
edge of which is not called for, so far as the racing that is
done at the fairs and ordinary racing meetings, and they
have also been omitted from these rules. Hence, these rules
contain only the provisions necessary to be known in
order to intelligently conduct the usual running races.
In order to obtain perspicuity, the subject matter of
each rule is placed prominently over it as a heading, as it
is believed that research will thus be greatly facilitated.
Each rule is numbered, and the numbers run in a series
throughout the whole, so that no two rules are numbered
alike, and reference is thus facilitated.
This method of arrangement and the incorporation
in each rule of all that is said upon the matter of
which it treats, enables the contents of the rules to be
indexed with certainty and clearness, and in a much
shorter space than it could otherwise be done. The space
saved can readily be seen by an examination of the rules
of the National Association, in which it requires more
space for the index than it does the rules. By our arrange-
ment, and the sub-heads, an index is hardly necessary,
because the order in which the rules are given will lead at
once, by turning the page-, to the place where the infor-
mation sought is contained.

ineligible to start in the race ]17-1] Horses shall not be
drawn at any other time except by permission of the judges,

entries that are drawn. When a party has two or more entries
in a race he shall elect which horse he will start, and give a
like notice of the decision. Whoever violates this rule may

entrance money. [16-2] If however, a protest is presented before

fraud, they may require the horse under protest to start or
continue in the race. (16-5)

purposes of the National Association. ] [16-9 }
40. Gornea UNDER PROTEST.
Whenever a party shall make the answer above required,
unless the judges find evidence sufficient to warrant them in
excluding the horse from the race, they shall allow him to
start or continue in the race under protest, and such premium
as may be won by that horse, if any, shall be retained for a
sufficient period of time, say three weeks, to allow the parties
interested a chance to sustain the allegations of the protest, or
to furnish information that will warrant the investigation of
the matter by the member or the Board of Appeals, but if the
said period of three weeks elapse without action being taken
to sustain the protest or furnish the information, the member
may proceed as if no such protest had been made. (165)
41. WirHDRAWING PROTESTS.
No protest shall be withdrawn or surrendered before the
expiration of the three weeks without the consent of the mem-
ber, and in case such consent be given with a corrupt motive

member so giving the consent shall be expelled from all the
privileges of this association. (16-7)

next fair day and good track, Sunday omitted. But except
in stake rac2s, no postponement shall be allowed beyond
the last day of the week in which the member has limited its
meeting, and in any class that has not been started by four

shall weigh in the presence of one or more of the judges, or
their assistants, and those who do not weigh bodily the number
of pounds they are required to carry in the race, shall make up
the deficiency by carrying such substance as the judges may
approve of, and such riders or drivers shall also reweigh as
they dismount at the close of each heat, and in case they do
not bring in with them the required weight, shall be distanced,
unless such a decision would be deemed to favor a fraud.
(20-2) (28-1
46. AccIDENTS AND MisTAKES IN WEIGHTS.
Whenever a rider or driver is dismounted by force from his
horse or hernia after having passed the winning post, if
disabled he may be carried to the judges’ stand and weighed,
and the judges may take the circumstances into consider ation
and decide accordingly. Whenever there has been no decep-
tion on the part of a rider or driver, and the judges shall by
mistake or fraud of their own, approve of a weight to be carried
which shall be deficient, and the same shall be so carried and
brought home, there shall be no penalty for light weight in
that heat, but the party shall carry the required weight in all
heats after the error is discovered. (20-2)
TROTTING RULES. 19

In all handicaps or matches where extra or lesser weights
are to be carried, the judges shall carefully examine before
starting, whether the riders or drivers or vehicles are of such
weights as have been agreed upon or required by the match or
handicap, and thereafter the riders and drivers shall be subject
to the same penalties and conditions as if they were to carry
the weights prescribed in these rules. (21)
48. OVERWEIGHTS.
If any rider or driver shall weigh bodily to exceed 20 pounds
over the weight prescribed in these rules, or that which is re-
quired by the conditions of the race, it shall be announced
from the stand before the heat; and if in the opinion of the
judges such weight was imposed upon the horse for an improper
or fraudulent purpose, they shall have power to substitute
another rider or driver of suitable weight, and if they believe the
horse has been prejudiced in the race by such overweight, he
shall not be allowed to start again or continue in the race, but
shall not be distanced but declared ruled out, and all bets on
such horse may be declared off. (22
49. LENGTH oF WHIPs.
No rider or driver will be allowed a whip to exceed the
following lengths, exclusive of snapper, which may be 3 inches

which they are founded. They shall have the power to inflict
